There is nothing entry-level about the Datacard® SD260 card printer. It is packed with
industry-leading innovations that make desktop ID card printing simple and economical.
The SD260 printer is ideal for anyone who prints ID cards as part of their busy workday.
With its competitive features and price, the SD260 printer is a great value. But its real
value is that we thought of everything, so you will worry about nothing.
The SD260 card printer
Dozens of great innovations in one great card printer
delivers the New Look of
• Easy operation that anyone can master. Intuitive icons guide you through the
soft-touch control panel and LCD screen. Cards and supplies are easy to load, and
the ergonomically designed ribbon cartridge includes a drop-in cleaning roller.
• Superb image quality for high-impact IDs. New TrueMatch™ printing technology
ensures vibrant colors and crisp, clean printing results. The high-fidelity printer driver
uses the latest Microsoft® XPS-based technologies to dramatically improve speed and
image quality. Batch after batch, you get consistently great results from the first card to
the last.
• Reliable performance and superior speed. TruePick™ card handling accurately picks
cards, standard and thin, every time with no adjustments — an industry exclusive.
New precise printhead technology increases overall production speeds.
• All the right connections for easy setup. Built-in Ethernet and USB ports, and the
browser-based Printer Manager, help you integrate the SD260 printer into just about
any application or IT environment.
• Engineered for Earth-friendly performance. The SD260 printer earned its
ENERGY STAR® qualifications by consuming far less electricity than its predecessors.
With unique features such as biodegradable supply cores, recyclable materials and
power-down button, the SD260 printer sets new benchmarks for environmentally
responsible card printing.
Leadership with outstanding
print quality, reliability, easy
operation and efficiency in
a small footprint.
